From the start, there was music, and it hardly stopped throughout, from "Big Girls don't cry, Sillouette, Earth Angel , Walk like a man,Sherry", to "December 63,(oh what a night) Rag Doll,Can't take my eyes off you Bye Bye baby" and many more.
The clever part of this show is that the characters themselves tell the story of Frankie Valli and the Four seasons, from there own perspective,from the start to the end.Clearly explained in great American accents.
The show is so fast moving, don't think there was a second when something wasn't either being sung or spoke.
So what of the 4 main characters..well they were something special, not sure how many stage performers can act well, sing in such superb harmony, as well as on their own with such incredible vocals, and pull off great US accents at the same time.
CAUTION.. As stated on the tickets this show is not for children under 12, or you may think older, as ifs full of swearing from start to finish, the "F" word a regular part of the show.There are also mild sexual references.
However these weren't a bunch of Angels in real life ,as the story tells, so I think the swearing fitted into this aspect well.
At times the vocals are so good, especially the gent who played Valli with his very high false seto voice that the hairs on the back of my neck stood up.
Tip.. Don't pay a £1.00 to release your seat back binoculars as they hardly magnify at all.
Not a foot put wrong, believable , so polished and at such pace, you will probably be the same as me at the end, on my feet joining in the standing ovation..just wonderful.
